The HK1 polyclonal antibody (Cat # PAB4008) is used in Western blot to detect HK1 in mouse skeletal muscle tissue lysate.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections)

Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded human hepatocellular carcinoma tissue reacted with HK1 polyclonal antibody (Cat # PAB4008) , which was peroxidase-conjugated to the secondary antibody, followed by AEC staining.This data demonstrates the use of this antibody for immunohistochemistry; clinical relevance has not been evaluated.

Hexokinases phosphorylate glucose to produce glucose-6-phosphate, the first step in most glucose metabolism pathways. This gene encodes a ubiquitous form of hexokinase which localizes to the outer membrane of mitochondria. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hemolytic anemia due to hexokinase deficiency. Alternative splicing of this gene results in five transcript variants which encode different isoforms, some of which are tissue-specific. Each isoform has a distinct N-terminus; the remainder of the protein is identical among all the isoforms. A sixth transcript variant has been described, but due to the presence of several stop codons, it is not thought to encode a protein. [provided by RefSeq
